La Mandria Natural Park, Protected natural area in Province of Turin, Italy

La Mandria is a regional park between the Stura di Lanzo and Ceronda streams northwest of Turin, covering about 3,000 hectares. Its boundary is a brickwork wall roughly 30 km long, built in the mid-19th century under Victor Emmanuel II. Inside are the Borgo Castello, with buildings in brickwork like Palazzo Carignano, and the church of San Giuliano with frescoes dated 1493.

The regional council of Piedmont established this nature reserve in 1978 to protect the last remaining section of forest that once covered the Po Plain. The grounds previously served as royal hunting estate and summer residence for the House of Savoy.

The park's name refers to the herds once kept here; the royal horse-breeding centre at Cascina Rubbianetta was built in 1860-63 for Victor Emmanuel II. The park authority still breeds native TPR horses at the stables of Cascina Vittoria. Near the Druento entrance stands the church of San Giuliano, founded around 1250 and holding frescoes of saints dated 1493.

The area has several entrances including Bella Rosina, Fiano, and Robassomero, with walking trails leading into different parts of the reserve. Guided tours and educational programs run regularly to help visitors learn about the flora and fauna.

The reserve maintains breeding programs for rare horse breeds while also providing habitat for free-roaming wild boars and deer. Visitors often spot these animals along the forest edges during early morning or evening hours.
